I remember those days, you had to give our your email address relative to a well-known backbone site.  For example, when I started at HP, my email was !hplabs!hpda!hpesoc1!dwalker.  You would find maps that listed all of the major backbone sites and how they were connected, then you could construct route for your email message.

Kids these days have it so easy!
